This month's favorites are short but sweet. I was sick for the most of July which resulted to weekends staying in at home and I just wasn't feeling my best and my usually positive self for the most part of this month. Although I still managed to choose a couple of things that I've been consistently using and discovered & loved within July.
For skincare, I've been really loving both my Avene Thermal Spring Water that I've owned for several months now (and used ever since) and my Kiehl's Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate (phew) that I've just recently purchased. I spray the Thermal Spring Water all over my face, day and night, after I cleanse, I just find this a really refreshing way to hydrate my skin. As for the Kiehl's Concentrate, it's sort of a love-hate relationship. I've noticed that my dark circles have slightly lightened, though it didn't help me in the fine-lines department that it suggests it would, at all.

I've owned Vichy's Dermablend Corrective Foundation for awhile but would only use it for occasions when I wanted a heavy coverage. Though recently I've been using this during the daytime too, but in tiny dollops. A little goes a long way for the day! Dior's Rosy Glow is my favorite and go-to blush of the month, and lives in my bag. You achieve a beautiful, natural looking flush when you use this and I love how it has a mirror and a really good quality brush that makes reapplying hassle-free.
Me without some color on my finger nails would be an odd sight to see, but unfortunately there's a price for everything including pretty looking fingertips: brittle, unhealthy, flaky nails. The Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment Strength has fixed that issue (the top layer of my nails would peel off) and have made them super healthy. My favorite nail polish as of late is Essie's Absolutely Shore! Check out my review here.
A new favorite drink that I just discovered, Namyang Crushed Peach Juice from Tous les Jours. Plus a necklace from H&M that I've been wearing a lot!
Have you tried any of these products? What are your favorites for July?

One of my favorite blushes hands down!!
DeleteThe Dior blush is such a beautiful colour! I love really distinctive pink colours because they transfer onto the skin so well! Lovely =)
ReplyDeleteErin, xx
Me too! It's supposed to react with the moisture in each skin type for a "tailor-made" healthy glow. What's not to love? ♥
DeleteI have to get this Essie polish!

It's quite expensive but worth the money in my opinion!

It seriously is! You can tell how much I've been using it lately, the Dior words are almost gone!

Thank you Charlotte :) Yup I'm feeling like my old self again!
DeleteNice favourites. Absolutely Shore is one of my all time favourite nail polishes, but I also love Butler Please and Tart Deco. I have always wanted to try the Dior Rosy Glow, I wonder if it is similar to Pink Swoon by MAC at all...
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I haven't tried Butler Please yet but I do own Tart Deco and I love that :) I haven't tried Pink Swoon yet so I'm not sure either, sorry!
DeleteThe Dior blush sounds beautiful :) I need to find a new eye cream soon and I am thinking of trying one from Kiehl's, so it's good to know your thoughts on that one! I'm also interested in their avocado eye treatment. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteEllie | Ellalogy
I've been using it every night since it's the only eye cream I have, and it helped with my dark circles a bit. Although I've noticed that if I stop using it for a few days, my dark circles are back so I don't think the brightening effect is permanent. I try to avoid applying it close to my lower lash line too cause it makes my eyes a bit itchy. Will do a more detailed review soon! :)
DeleteLove the Dior blush!! It's a really great product!!
